Sharing a folder with User on Second Win 7 PC
The scenario:
I have 2 (soon to be 3) Win 7 machines in my home network. I want this main machine (YELLOW-TOWER) to store "shared" files for the whole family. It's always on and available. Folders are on a secondary, Data drive D:. Example: D:\Family Photos; D:\Family Documents etc.
Problem:
I want to be able to grant myself and my wife, Read/Write access to those shared directories (on YELLOW-TOWER) from our laptops (FAM-LAPTOP & NIC-MINI). I also want certain directories for she and I to have full access but no access for the kids.
Status:
I have joined all the accounts to the homegroup and have read access sharing working.
From what I've seen in forums, this seems realistic but I'm getting something wrong and am going around in circles at this point. Help Please!!!
